This is the last post in the five-part series, ‘Market instruments explained’, where we examine the prospects and risks of market instruments in corporate emissions accounting.

From June 20-28, our team will be in London for London Climate Action Week, contributing to discussions and sharing insights on topics ranging from corporate climate accountability, just energy transition to electrification, climate governance, international cooperation.

Launching its Article 6 assessment series, the CAT has undertaken its first qualitative assessments of the carbon credit arrangements under Article 6 for four countries: Switzerland, Japan, Brazil and Kenya.

The Climate Action Tracker (CAT) team presented their latest briefing examining countries' responses to the energy crisis and whether they support or hinder the energy transition at a press conference in Bonn.

In a briefing released at the Bonn climate talks, the CAT sets out responses to an energy shock that would support - or hinder decarbonisation, noting it is still in the hands of governments to use the momentum of the crisis to initiate structural changes.

In this fourth post of the five-part series, ‘Market instruments explained’, we explain why transition indicators should play a central role in a multi-statement GHG framework

In the third post of the five-part series, ‘Market instruments explained’, we analyse the potential of book-and-claim as a market instrument to reduce emissions.

This side event will present new research on equitable low-carbon transitions, advances in global scenario development, and methods for deriving national and sectoral pathways from international climate objectives.

As the annual Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB64) runs from 8-18 June, our team will be in Bonn contributing to key discussions and sharing new insights.

This second blog post in the five-part series 'Market instruments explained' gives an overview of the different types of mass balance. It explores whether low-carbon product procurement that rests on mass balance accounting represents real decarbonisation. It shows that safeguards are needed to ensure mass balance is ambitious and impactful.

This project examines how to accelerate the transition of semiconductor manufacturing supply chains to renewable electricity to decarbonise the tech sector.

In this interview, our expert explains why a coalition of first-mover countries may offer the most effective and feasible path for the TAFF Roadmap in today’s political climate.

This Climate Action Tracker blog looks at how a selection of TAFF participants are progressing in their transition away from fossil fuels, and what action they need to take to align with 1.5°C compatible power sector pathways.

This Climate Action Tracker blog finds that the International Maritime Organization's adoption of the Net Zero Framework could decide whether the shipping sector's emissions would be consistent with global temperature rise being held near 2°C.

This introductory blog post in the five-part series 'Market instruments explained' outlines the role market-based instruments might play in emissions accounting and how their integration into emissions inventories could be useful but also poses risks – unless guardrails are strengthened.

In this Q&A piece, our experts draw on cross-country insights to explore how the energy crisis is unfolding, how countries are affected and responding and what more effective government responses could look like.

This academic article, published in the Climate Policy Journal, compares the methodological design choices of 10 approaches for assessing corporate low-carbon transition strategies.
